I found the base recipe (banana nut muffins) at edenfoods.com
Here is what I did:
In a large bowl, I mixed 2.5 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a medium bowl, I mixed 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup of grade A maple syrup, and two teaspoons pure vanilla extract. Separately, I mashed three very ripe bananas. I also washed and cut up five large strawberries. I added wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stirred before adding the fruits. I also crumbled about a cup of walnuts in, then mixed the batter. Finally, I baked the muffins at 350 for a bit less than half an hour. They're done when a toothpick comes out clean.
I made the muffins kind of short and squat, so I ended up with 24. The recipe is supposed to yield 12, but I was afraid the batter would spill out. No big deal. Now I have little baby muffins, perfect for using to lure babies away from their parents.

The baking made the fruit super sweet! The strawberries are awesome! Maybe I should have chopped them smaller, but I actually liked the moistness that surrounded them.
Also, in case this wasn't obvious, this recipe is kind of healthy. At least better than regular muffins. No butter! Just a little bit of oil. Also, it seems pretty vegan friendly, since there's no dairy. The only things that are kind of bad are the 1/3 cup of maple syrup (which isn't actually that much when you spread it over 12 to 24 muffins) and the whole wheat flour (but only if you are on a gluten-free diet). All in all, I think you can safely serve this up for your hippie friends.
